Initial Start-Up
After the unit has been installed, test it to ensure that it is operating properly.
1. Remove literature and packing material from the interior and exterior of the unit.
2. Make certain the water supply is turned on.
3. Turn on electrical power to the unit.
4. Turn the on/off switch on the cabinet front panel to the “ON” position:
• The boiler drain valve will close and the unit will fill with water.
• When the water level reaches the “mid” probe, the red RESET light will
come on.
• Push the START switch.
• The green light in the switch will come on and the RESET light will go out.
The heater element contactors will close.
• When the water level reaches the “hi” probe, the water supply to the boiler
will shut off.
5. After about 15 minutes, the gauge pressure will rise. When the pressure reaches
12 PSI (83 kPa), the main burner will turn off. Thereafter, as pressure decreases,
the contactors will close to maintain the 12 PSI (83 kPa) level.
6. To shut the unit down, turn the on/off switch to OFF. When it has cooled to
approximately 130°F, the boiler will automatically drain.
If the boiler functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact
your authorized Service Agent.
7. When steam is available for the cavity, choose one of the following:
a. Set the timer to the desired time for timed steaming.
b. Turn the timer to the manual ON position for continuous steam.
NOTE: The door must be shut before steam will enter the cavity. If the door is
opened when the timer is on, the flow of steam will stop.
c. Let the steamer sit idle until needed.
8. If the unit will not be used for an extended period, turn off power to the
individual steamer compartments. Turn off power to the electric
pressure boiler.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact your
Authorized Service Agent.
Operating Controls are located on
the front of the cabinet base unit.
